Probably the easiest way to do this would be to create another queue/CLASS and assign a higher priority to it.
CLASSCFG[fast] PRIORITY=4000 The user would submit jobs to the "regular" queue as normal but when a faster turnaround is needed, an explicit #PBS -q fast in the job script would get them a higher priority. You'll need to make sure of this with "diagnose -p" or a "showq -i" to make sure that your numbers are correct and performing the correct functions.
